HON. E NJ SHARON
of Black Hawk county, Iowa The ques-
ton of the evening as Mr. Sharon un-
derstood it, WAS. whether or not the
coerCive policy of England toward Irc~
land was right or wrong. That question
should be arranged before the audience
selves after hearing the arguments of the
evening. England's policy for seven
hundred years has been to create dis
turbance and to cxterminate the Irish
people. The coercion bill is but another
of these blots upon civilization. and
God grant that it will he the last
Of England's oppressive policies.
In America the condition of
Ireland could hardly be appre>
ciated. Mr. Sharon then compared
our country to Ireland. the early
struggle the American people had under-
gone under England's rule of tyranny
until the chain of oppression was snapped
through an organized rebellion. In
Ireland the people had not the advant,

their heirs.

Every creature that lives is an
earth builder; living il adds daily to
the earth's crust, dying it builds its
body into.it. Every drop Of water
in ocean, lake or river is full of liv-
ing creatures, invisible to the naked
eye. but dying by millions every
minute, they fall to the bottom until
their remains cover it with a bed of
mud of vast thickness Nothing
lives IN vain; creatures individually
most Insignificant play most impor
tant parts as earth builders, and man
could have no more existed without
the lowly creatures which lived on
the earth before him, than the top.
most branches of tree could exist
if there were no trunk and roots.
And thus not only in the past, but
in this present, the creatures most
important to man are the microscop-
ic dwellers in the soil. The farmer
may dress his land with stable ma.
nure, but unless these minute crea-
lures were present to pass it through
their own system, and create mould
of uniform quality, his returus would
be but small.

Horse Breeding.

There are few farms on which there
is not some horse breeding. There
ought not to be any. But there are
farms whose resources are never fully
utilized and some on which they are
not even moderately utilized; and
this last condition of the farms on
which no colts are ever raised. But
the manner of breeding is the great
defect on too many. There is good
demand for good horses of all kinds.
A horse breeder can make no mig.
take in the matter of breed if he
raises good horse. If he is breed
ing trotting stock and raises trot-
ter he readily finds sale for him.
The difficulty in this casei is to get the
trotter. But the breeding OF trot-
ting horses produces one thing at
least, a light, good traveller and there
is steady market for such horses.
The coach horse is another ami.
NAL that is that is in great
demand; and he can be made
out of any horse that is of good size
and Of good carriage movement. This
animal can be produced by crossing
some of the larger breeds, such as
the Cleveland Bay, upon our COM
mon mares There is already in ex-
istence what is called the French
coach horse. But while there is
good demand for the horses already
spoken of, there is never failing
demand for draft horses. The horse
breeding industry is therefore good
one, and worthy much more attention
than it receives in many quarters.
The horse owner who continues to
breed horses that have no merits, lit
tie, ill.shaped, scrub animals. is
breeding to supply a very limited
demand and very Improbable one.
Of course anything in the shape of
horse can be sold to somebody but
not at profit. 1t costs pretty near
ly as much to produce horse that
has no merit as it does to produce
one with marked merit. If we do
it, therefore we are throwing away
an opportunity to make money and
we are all supposed to be conduct
ing our business for the profit that
there is in it. II horse breeding and
every other industry upon the farm
were reduced to the science to which
all other business is reduced, the ad.
dition to the aggregate profits on the
farm would be immense.

The COurting Preacher.
from Durham Recorder. !

Last Sunday we went to Bethel church,
situated in the southern part of Wake
county. and heard the pastor, who, by the
way, is a counting man, eXpound the script
ures A courtlng preacher ought to get
married, if he can, or stick close to busi-
ness while in the pulpit. The two won't
mix. It's not according to scripture for a
man to serve two masters There is said
to be no rule without exceptions, but this
is one. A love-sick preacher will stick
closer to the girl of his choice, be she will
ing or unwilling, than sick kitten to q
hot brick. The preacher in question is a
close communionist, and is said to have
declared his greatest ambition to be, to
marry Methodist girl and make her a
Baptist. Foolish idea. 1t reminds US of
good old Methodist minister, he is dead,
who married a woman to save her soul
and almost lost his own as penalty. He
Is a shrewd man. His sweetheart was in
the congregation, last Sunday, as also was
her father, who is a devout, earnest leader
in the Methodist church. They live some
distance from the church. There were to
be services at night, and the preacher de-
sired to carry the girl home and bring her
back, but could not unless her father would
come back. Before the benediction was
pronounced he said
s'Brother W, will you be at church
tonight"
''Well, brother, l will do anything for
Christ, and will try and come"
'You must come, l want you to be one
of the leaders,"
''Very well, will be here"
There were Baptist brethren in the
neighborhood who were accustomed tc
lead, but the preacher carried his point,
and also carried the girl to her home.

The best information hat we have been
able TO obtain confirms the belief that d
crop grown for the purpose and then
pl0wed under, furnishes the cheapest and
most practicable mode of manuring the
land for the next crop. We have also
come 10 the conclusion that it is not rest
from producing crops that is needed by
the land bat it is rest from being cult
waited and from being exposed TO the sun
during so large a portion of the year.
y crop that can be sown broadcast, and
one that Will furnish a dense shade, Will
give the land the needed rest from he
sun. also the wine. and rain, for a number
of months
i crop Of COW pea vines can be grown
at a cost of about one dollar and Il / al
per acre, and will weigh in the green state
from twenty-five to thirty tons, and viii
produce enough peas per acre to support
two hogs for one month, which pastur3ge
will be worth to the farmer at least three
dollars The vines and the manure left
by the hogs can then be returned t, he
land with certainty of increasing the
value of the succeeding crops. No farmer
can afford not to grow cow-peas on his
resting land. 1t is cheaper than to permit
it to grow up in weeds, which will seldom
weigh more than from tel To fifteen tons
per acre, and are worth nothing for stock.
The next question, and one of very great
importance is, When shall green crop be
turned under, in order to obtain the best
results? Two points have been we'll est ab-
lished by many experiments. One is that
a crop should never be turned under nm
less another crop is made to take its place
at once; there is one exception to this rule:
if a crop of weeds is allowed to grow dur
ing the summer, they can partially be
turned under while in blossom during the
month OF August; the ground should then
be narrowed and 4 crop OF grass be allow
ed to cover the land and protect it during
the fall and winter months, and then be
turned under for the crop Of cotton OF
corn. | should prefer, however, TO cut
| the weeds with scythe or cotton stalk
cutter in August, and let them lie on the
land until ready to plow under in the
| spring.
The other point is, that a crop of any
kind, including peas, millet. oats, wheat
stubble or grass. is Of great value, and il
can be turned under at any season Of the
| year, provided another crop is made tc
| grow at once on the land.
